Cycle 4 (Sept 14th to Sept 23rd) Assignments
Yearbook Layout Design
Cycle 4: Assignment 1, Due Friday, September 21, 2012
1. Drop in the headline for your page. Spell out every word (numbers, etc.). Size is 48.
There are two font styles (Jade and Calm) that will be alternated throughout the book.
Here’s the rotation:
PK: Jade
JK: Calm
K: Jade
1st Grade: Calm
2nd Grade: Jade
all odd numbered grades: Calm
all even numbered grades: Jade
Teachers: Jade on first page—no headlines on subsequent pages
Page 74 (student council, teams): use Jade
2. Drop in at least 3 photos—candids on the portrait pages, group shots on the team pages. Here’s the requirements for the photos:
a. in-focus
b. correctly exposed
c. well-composed according to the elements we discussed
d. The subjects (students’) faces are visible and recognizable
3. Write an informal caption identifying the students (first and last name) in the photo. You’ll have to ask one of the grade level teachers to identify the students. Captions are in font Unitus Light, size 9.
What if there are no photos in my grade level image library? Or what if the photos don’t satisfy the requirements?
1. First, check with the students who were assigned to those grades. They may have photos they didn’t upload.
2. You can go and take your own photos, or--
3. Contact the teachers or coaches to see if they have photos.
4. Ultimately, it is the layout designer’s job to get the photos to finish the layout.
Cycle 4: Assignment 2, Weebly Reflection, Due Friday, September 21, 2012
For this week, I’d like to you keep track of two things in your reflection.
1. The people you contact, when and how (in person, phone, email) you contacted them, their response, and your follow up. Use professional etiquette (see expectations). Please copy me on all your emails.
2. Issues you ran into, and any suggestions you have to avoid them, or how you solved them. This is a group project, and while there are a lot of advantages to working as a group, sometimes problems arise. Not only do you have to rely on other staff members, but on busy faculty and staff to help you out. Address these issues, and suggest solutions.
